The email read: "We apologise for the email. As a recent visitor to the exhibition you may have purchased one of Pete's t-shirts?

"We have recently found that the shirts are faulty, the print has not taken to the shirt and will start to fade in the wash.

"We always take pride in our products and are sorry that this has happened.

"We apologise for the inconvenience but want to make sure everyone gets a proper product from us."

Pete, who grew up on a council estate in Batemoor, said he launched the exhibition to "show the spirit of the working class; the pride, hope, fight, passion and resourcefulness that has been their foundation."
